Kickoff fans can save time, money with advance tickets

Conway and Myrtle Beach High football fans can do more to support their teams than cheering for them in Saturday night’s Derrick Law Firm Kickoff Classic.

They can also save themselves a couple of bucks, a long wait in line and make a donation to their respective team’s booster clubs by buying tickets in advance.

Formerly known as the Surf and Turf Kickoff Classic, the inaugural high school football showcase will be held at Doug Shaw Memorial Stadium and features Conway vs. Northwestern at 5 p.m., followed by Myrtle Beach vs. Irmo at 8 p.m.

Tickets for both games are $12 at the gate, but Tiger and Seahawk fans can get them for $10 by buying them in advance at www.derricklawfirmkickoff.com. Clcik on the school you support and $5 will go directly to its booster club. Purchases must be made before 5 p.m. Wednesday to take advantage of the offer.

By buying online, fans also cut out what is expected to be a big walk-up crowd for tickets to the doubleheader. Those who buy in advance also earn the right to be first to buy tickets to the 2013 edition, which features four NC schools vs. four SC schools.
